Legendaries and Hero’s Journeys are NOT the same kind of events.

Legendaries require FACTIONS. A Legendary toon unlocks at 5*. A Legendary toon has 5 abilities and 2 zetas (except capital ship Chimaera).

Hero’s Journeys require SPECIFIC CHARACTERS. A Hero’s Journey toon unlocks at 7*. A Hero’s Journey toon has 6 abilities and 3 zetas.

Current Legendaries:

Grand Master Yoda, Emperor Palpatine, R2-D2, Grand Admiral Thrawn, BB-8, Chewbacca and Chimaera

Current Hero’s Journeys:

Commander Luke Skywalker, Rey (Jedi Training) and Jedi Knight Revan

Giving Old Republic tag to any toon wouldn’t help you get Revan. You cannot wait for a more easily farmable OR toon to get Revan next time.

I hate to knock you off of your soap box, but Revan is not a hero's journey......

I concur. More, you cannot distinguish if Revan need OR faction or specific characters as they coincide...

Well, it is a HJ
They said you need this 5 Chars to unlock him at 7 stars.
Thats kind of the deal at a HJ.

While not specifically stated to be a HJ, it requires specificity named toons, and unlocks at 7*. That is the same as previous HJ. The only difference with this one is we do not seem to have a "base character" for the journey, as we did with Luke and Rey.

Let call it a Legendary Marquee Heroes Journey ... of redemption :-p

it is interesting to many people seem to get stuck on this is a hero journey and this is what is required blah blah blah. Keep it simple.
1 event requires 5 specific characters and the unlock is at 7*
1 event requires a faction and unlocks at 5*

and hell they could change all this anytime they want it is not set in stone, they havent come out and said all legendary will be x and journey will be y. the only thing that was "promised" was amount of warning and reoccurance of the events.

This. It could be neither and something totally new, I doubt it, but hope springs eternal.

I can't believe that now the point is the name of the event, legendary or hero's journey..... come on!
The point is "the Revan event disaster", non such details....

I fully understand above's notion. The story/description of the event talks about a Hero the packs are called Legends of Old, why not Hero's of Old?. By the same logic, every character ingame is a hero as the game is called "Galaxy of Heroes". Additionally, why would they spread confusion with a Hero's Journey if they could just call it that: a Hero's Journey. They did that specifically with the first 2 Hero's Journey Events, too. Why stop?
Additonally, for JTR they specifically wrote that you can only unlock her (at 7*) by completing the event with 7* characters.(In CLS' case they did not specify like that in the announcement but in length in the Megathread accompanying the first ever HJ).
If this would really turns out to be a Hero's Journey, someone at CG is doing a really, really bad job at wording and designing this announcement. No matter the time we had in advance, there was consistency in Event descriptions. We new it was a Marquee, a HJ or Legendary. This would be a totally new case and a - in my opinion - hard fail of the person responsible for such marketing stuff / teasers / ads.

I can see the confusion, I am still myself as strong disbeliever of a Hero's Journey Event
What I actually wonder, and couldn't find are the announcements of the legendary events, like BB-8 or Thrawn. Depending on the wording, conclusions could be drawn.

Awfully large number of assumptions in this thread. And none of them matter. What counts is the requirements for attempting the event and the reward for completing it. In this case, you need OR heroes to play in order to unlock Revan. Who cares what it's called.
Plus, future HJ does not need to be 100% compatible with previous HJ. They can change it whenever they want.
